It's entirely possible that your kid's case was so mild that the work around were successful enough to allow your kid to "pass" for normal.  This doesn't mean a "cure," he's just learned the workarounds successfully.  This does happen sometimes.[/quote]

My kid is normal and not passing for anything (but I think all kids are normal).  We very clearly had a misdiagnosis but I think it was more for the services/money than anything.  ASD is way to broad, as are other disorders, including language.  (there are also huge issues with language disorder diagnosis, especially at the school levels).[/quote]

I find this argument of "he's just learned the workarounds successfully" really strange. If he can adapt and all kids adapt in different ways how does he have a condition? What defines the condition then? There's no blood test or obvious brain difference. It's a set of symptoms and if he has no symptoms how is her child any different from the NT classmate who has no symptoms?[/quote]
